Fresh off earning its first regional ranking of the season, the No. 12 Carleton College men’s tennis team celebrated with a 6-1 victory over No. 15 University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. The win was the Knights’ 16th straight to open the year.

Quite possibly because the Knights are off to the best start in program history, the Carleton College men’s tennis team got to play under the lights on Wednesday and prevailed, 7-2, in a primetime matchup against Elmhurst College. This was the Knights’ fourth victory over a regionally-ranked opponent this season as the Bluejays were slotted at No. 13 in the central region.

The Carleton College men’s tennis carried an 11-match win streak into Tuesday’s tripleheader, and the Knights remained undefeated after posting identical 9-0 victories over North Central (Ill.) College, University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, and Buena Vista University. Every member of the squad got into the win column at least one time on the day.

The Carleton College men’s tennis team extended its season-opening win streak to 11 matches with a decisive 9-0 triumph over Nebraska Wesleyan University. The day’s second contest versus Elmhurst College was postponed by rain and re-scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.

The Carleton College men’s tennis team played its first outdoor match of the 2015 season on Friday as the Knights opened their Spring Break trip with a 5-4 triumph over regionally-ranked Allegheny (Pa.) College.

The Carleton College men’s tennis team closed the winter portion of its schedule with a 9-0 triumph over Bethel University. The Knights are the lone undefeated team in the MIAC, and the team is off to its best start since beginning the 2008 season with a dozen wins.
